We need a checkbox for it in the stroke properties tab.
Currently I think it's a compile-time flag, which means it's unusable for most users.

I'd love to highlight this feature in the Inkscape video at LGM.

Can someone add this?

Inkscape trunk supports rendering of the 'paint-order' property. It is not behind a compiler flag. I didn't add a GUI as it wasn't widely supported by other SVG renderers. You can add it using the XML editor.

I would not appose someone adding it to the GUI. Both Firefox and Chrome support it now. The other two major browsers are quite slow in updating. And in the case of Edge, unless they see it being used, they are unlikely to implement it. If it is something we want then we need to be the egg and get content out there that does use it.
